3. Venezuela's new currency debut: Venezuela is introducing bigger bills on Thursday to combat its economic crisis and extreme inflation. Venezuela's government will start printing a 20,000 bolivar note, which is worth $30 on the official exchange rate. Still, widespread lack of faith in the government and the economy means few Venezuelans pay attention to the official rate. A more popular, unofficial exchange rate has emerged, on which the 20,000 boilvar note is worth worth only $4.70.

The biggest bill right now is 100 bolivars, worth only around two cents, based on the unofficial rate. With the value of the bolivar falling rapidly, Venezuelans are exchanging their bolivars for dollars, which are seen as a more valuable and stable currency.

Next year, inflation is expected to rise 1,660% according to IMF forecasts.
